In my company (The Netherlands) we have a client who needed some polo's. Well, that was no problem, I can deliver many different polo's and offered them a 100% cotton polo (Boston polo basic) from US Basic. The client found it great, but saw down below the page also 60% cotton / 40% polyester, but that was only available in the color anthracite. But she definitely wanted that in royal blue. I have asked some textile distributors in my country and they said that it was not available. So I said to our client that we could deliver a 50/50 polo. First she said it was ok, but now she still wants a 60% cotton / 40% polyester polo.

Does any one on this forum knows a distrbutor that sells this?
And by the way does she can make a problem of it between a 60% cotton / 40% polyester polo and a 50/50 polo? Because I think the difference is not so many.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think the difference will be that much either.

You may need to just reassure your client of that though, if you can't find a 60/40 blank. If it doesn't exist in the color they want, it just doesn't exist.

Having said that

...after a few google searches, I found some 60/40 polos.

Tri Mountain has a 60/40 in Royal Blue:

Looks like Outer Banks has one too:

Thanks Rodney!

Outer Banks does sound familiair to me. I know a company who sold it in The Netherlands. But they didn't had the polo 60/40. I'm sure to look at those websites and hope that my client likes it!
